    Any suggestions for a dock or port replicator for the MB. Are Bookendz any good? I guess they will make on for the MB.
    I have a port replicator for my Acer Travelmate. It holds everything, VGA, ethernet, USB, audio, power - it takes one second to take off and snap back on. I love to pop out of the office for an hour and take my notebook with me. I used to have a PB Pismo and had scotch tape holding all the cables down to the desk.

    I don't understand why Apple don't do port replicators, I mean the whole point is mobility and everyone has a bunch of stuff connected to their notebook at their home base.

    I guess a USB hub will take care of the USB devices but that still leaves, power, ethernet, audio, firewire and VGA or DVI.

    Is there any hope?
